Some bands should just take up basket weaving anyway. Russelk made a good point though, be careful in your listening habits. There are thousands of artists out there to listen to and discover.Bands have never been so accessable with Mp3s and all kinds of specialized sites om the web.

I pray to God Rush won't play 'Roll the Bones' this tour... they played it every tour since the album came out, enough already, leave room for songs like The Camera Eye !!!

I never seen YES, KC, PURPLE or ex-FLOYDians live. I hope I'll do it some day. And if they don't play the songs you've mentioned it won't make me happier 
I haven't been to VDGG's live show in 2005 in Moscow, but I know they started from "Darkness". I'd love to see at least this one played live by them.

No matter how overplayed you might find a song I think in a "live" environment it doesn't/wouldn't matter. I'd love to see/hear Smoke On The Water being played. It's overplayed because it's a popular tune, and a good one at that.

Roundabout is not that bad, I am more fed up with All good people... but I thoroughly agree about Smoke

Would you rather hear Owner of a Lonely Heart? I know what I'd prefer!

Can you imagine a Rolling Stones' show without "Satisfaction"?
Well, I can't figure out how I would feel if Yes do not play "Roundabout" in a concert! Of course it would be better if they add something new (e.g., a different keyboard solo), but I still find this song one of Yes's trademarks.

you should consider yourselves lucky for having seen these acts so many time - if that's what you mean- and not bitch about the playlist...
here in Greece things are far worse... 
prog gigs are very few...
unless you are a die-hard Maiden fan...

Yeah! Don't give people what they want to hear!
Sorry, I know you're making a serious point. But I don't know of any songs I'm tired of. I tend to be careful in my listening habits.

King Crimson should retire "Red" and "Larks II", but I believe they already have. It would be nice to hear them revisit some underplayed classics like "Larks I" and "One More Red Nightmare".
David Gilmour and Pink Floyd need to retire "Comfortably Numb". That song has been played to death. At least Water's solo band added some new ideas and improvisation.
And Mike Oldfield needs to retire Tubular Bells. He's been beating that dead horse for so long, there's nothing left to beat anymore.
